Land Rover BORN Awards

Land Rover Austin is excited to congratulate the winners of the Land Rover BORN awards that took place July 26. The Land Rover BORN awards started when Land Rover and BORN (an online market network) came together to “recognize exceptional creative achievements in the design-led lifestyle.”

Born is an online market network that was created to support creative leadership. Designers and creators alike can display their products, their brands, and their profiles. This allows creators to connect with industry professionals and others who are passionate about design. To be featured on BORN your designs must be “innovative, desirable, sustainable and relevant.”

To be nominated for the Land Rover BORN awards, you must first be showcased on BORN.

The nominees for the Land Rover BORN awards started as almost 6,000 candidates from all over the world. Finally a selection of 38 nominees was made, then down to 18. The final 18 nominees are taking part in a special exhibition (running from July 16 to August 5) in Alesund, Norway.

The theme for the 2017 Land Rover BORN awards was ‘reductionism.’ We feel that the new Range Rover Velar embodies reductionism while maintaining elegance.

“The common principle that Land Rover and BORN share – that design can, and does, change the world – looks to be as healthy as ever on the strength of this year’s Awards winners. Every year, the Awards bring together the brightest, the best and the most pioneering creators in the design industry, and every year the sheer scope of what is competing for the various prizes is staggering.”
